The Fed

PROJECT 25 Infecting everything. If they are able to push out Lisa Cook at the federal reserve then they will have the power to control the 12 regional reserve banks. Basically the independence of those who control our monetary policy will be gone.
This is huge. So naturally it will receive as little coverage as possible.

I say “ they “ because the insane one doesn’t have the ability to think of this. So many were screaming about project 25 and it was barely a blip in the corporate media. Even PBS only had one segment of it on the news hour . We are hanging on by our teeth.

People who have been sounding the alarm were called doom and gloomers when the real problem came from people who were saying everything will be fine.

The so called doom and gloomers wanted Congressional Democrats to fight harder, not to give up.

Hopefully the courts will protect Cook, but who knows? The thought of Krasnov controlling the Fed with the purpose of making him the richest person in the world is a scary proposition.

The bond market is freaking out, and the dollar is down against other currencies.

People will notice when the price of hamburger and coffee has doubled (it’s on the way now).
